ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT FIRE DANGER .

Fire may be caused by:

Crew negligence when smoking, the presence aboard of flammable liquids, electrical contacts, propulsion motor, errors in fueling, or ifmaintenance has not been performed as required.

Once again, it is important that the crew behave correctly and that the boat is kept in order to avoid serious damage to it and to persons.

However, if a fire does occur aboard, stop motor, disconnect the batteries immediately, check to see if it is an electrical component or any casea small-scale fire that does not involve flammable liquids, in which case use a suitable fire extinguisher to try and put the fire out completely.

Easily flammable products must not be kept aboard.

BATTERY: the battery may cause sparks or explosions. It must be stored in an appropriate container,easily reached and well aired, AWAY FROM FUEL OR INFLAMMABLE PRODUCTS. Periodically check thatthe clips are tight and protect them with appropriate insulation in order to prevent sparks or the spreadof current.

Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment must not be kept in compartments with key lock, butin easily accessible and clearly indicated locations.

Extinguisher or any other fire-fighting equipment should be checked periodically and replaced withthe same or superior types if expired or inefficient.

Equip the boat with fire-fighting equipment before launch and use.

4 1 2 3

The boat buoyancy tube has U-shaped form. The tube is separated by means

of inner elastic partitions into five chambers of a similar volume, each being

provided with an air fill valve.

The air fill valve is intended for:

— filling the compartment with air from a standard pump or filling system

and maintaining pressure in the tube for prolonged time,

— adjustable drop of pressure in compartment.

The air fill valve is designed as a tab-type non-return valve and consists of

the following components (Fig. D5): housing (1); cup (2) with strap (3);

washer with gasket (4); nut (5); spindle (6) with spring (7) and cup diaphragm

(8).

To fill the tube with air, use only the pump from the boat kit.

First fill all tube compartments to a pressure approximately of 0.1 bar. Then

bring the air pressure to nominal - 0.2bar (2.9psi).

Note that when the tube is heated by sunlight, the pressure can increase

significantly.

D5

IT IS FORBIDDEN to bring the tube pressure up to the value exceeding the rated one (0.2 bar(2.9psi))

Always check the air pressure in the tube.Be careful. Tube can be damaged with sharp objects.

Always have on board the means for repairingthe punctures and cuts of the tube

The inflatable tube of the boat has five independent air-tight chambers. Before inflation it's necessary to set all valves in operating condition.

In order to switch valve in operating condition, please press spindle 6 (Fig. D3) with your finger and rotate it clockwise until the spindle

will be fixed. If this operation isn't possible, it means the valve already has been set in operating condition.

Fill the tube with air using the pump from the complete set. First fill two rear chambers, next two middle chambers. However, do not increase

the pressure up to its operating value (the tube will be completely straightened). After that, please fill the fore chamber up to the rated

pressure. The rated pressure value is 0.2 bar (2.9 psi). Having completed filling, close the valve covers.

In order to discharge air from the tube chambers, open the valves (please press spindle 6 (Fig. D3) with your finger and rotate it

anticlockwise until the spindle will be fixed).

INFLATION/DEFLATION OF THE BOAT TUBE.

Board air chambers are hermetical if they keep own form during 8 hours. In this case:– primary pressure has to be nominal;– input valves openings have to be tightly closed by caps.

The rated pressure value is 0.2 bar (2.9 psi).If the tube pressure more than nominal, deflate the tube slightly. Boat exploitation with board pressure

more than nominal decreases boat service life.

Do not use compressors and/or other types of inflating equipments not approved by the boat builder.

Check the tube pressure before every navigation.

Main conditions of long service life is right and careful servicing. Avoid excessive increasing of pressure in the board, especially from

heating by the sun rays.

At the end of exploitation take off sand and dirt from boat surface, and carefully dry it.

Avoid the water getting into the chambers. If a fuel or an oil gets to the boat surface it is necessary to wash the soiled place by soap

water as soon as possible and dry.

Pay attention to the condition of bottom surfaces. If the cover is destroyed it is necessary to dry this element and restore the defend cover.

At the end of the season exploitation, prepare the boat to winter keeping. Clean boat surface from sand and dirt, and make the necessary

repairs, if damages take place. If it is possible, keep the boat in open and slightly pumped state at air temperature 0-25°C. The boat must

be protected from the sun rays.

Insignificant boat repairing (eliminating the board punctures or cuts) you may carry out by yourself. In this case use the coated fabric

and glue set for repair from the complete set.

The own fulfilment of any complex repair associated with considerable damages to the board, partitions and seams is not recommended.

In such cases, apply to your dealer.

MAINTENANCE.

Storage of the boat with temperature variations from -30°C to +45°C may be allowednot longer than 1 month. In case the boat has been stored or transported at atemperature below 0°C, it must be kept at a temperature above +15°C at least for 1 hourbefore to be unpacked and unfolded.

For small repair boat tube use the coated fabric and glue set from the complete set.

For each particular water area the local shipping regulations are in force. You may apply for informationto the appropriate water transport and shipping directorate, as well as to the water police.

IT IS FORBIDDEN to bring the tube pressure up to the value exceeding the rated one (0.2 bar(2.9psi))

IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to drag the boat across a rough surface.

Use the boat equipment and accessories only on their direct purpose to ensure reliable service.

Even when sailing with an outboard engine you should always have the oars available with you so thatyou were able to reach the shore without outside assistance in case of any damage of the boat.

On your request any outboard engine seller may provide your engine with the emergency stop switch.During navigation the switch should be connected to the wrist of your hand by means of a cord. In caseyou fall overboard, even if being a steersman, the switch will cut out the engine and the propeller. Thisarrangement will enable you to avoid any traumas and to reach the boat.

Take all possible precautions against penetration of fuel, oil or electrolyte from the storage batteryinto the inflatable boat. If it does happen wash thoroughly the fouled spots with water.

Dear ownwr,

We thank your for your purchase and do hope that you will have a great fun of it. However, to make your joy and pleasure complete, we

would request you to read carefully and observe the directions and recommendations specified below.

OPERATING REGULATIONS.

IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to handle the boat in the state of intoxication and withoutindividual rescue means being used (life-saving belts, jackets, etc.)

IT IS FORBIDDEN to use an outboard motor of power exceeding the maximumallowable value

Page 38: 236F.01 Rigid Inflatable Boat MODEL: Eagle 8

— 38 — BRIG

You should be always sure that the number of people on board never exceeds that specified in theowner's manual or on the builder's plate provided on the transom.

The boat will retain an adequate floatability and will not keel over only provided that the load is arrangedreasonably. Therefore, do not accommodate all passengers on the same side of the boat.

All passengers should be accommodated inside the boat. The occupied seats should not be leftthroughout the entire sailing time.

Arrange the cargo to be carried uniformly inside the boat, all items being reliable secured on the bottomof the boat.

When sailing with an outboard engine the steersman should shift his body forward in the course ofacceleration to prevent the boat forebody from raising under the force of upthrust waves.

Always check that floatation devices for children are of the right size and that they are operational.

All passengers should put on life-saving jackets.

CHILDREN and non-swimmers MUST WEAR A FLOATATION DEVICE AT ALL TIMES.

The boat must be equipped with liferaft(s) to be stowed for the crew limit. If the liferaft is a rigid canistertype, it shall be mounted in the cockpit, ready for use. If the liferaft is contained in a soft bag then it maybe stowed in a compartment but shall be readily available for use.

Liferaft not supplied by the manufacturer and must be installed by owner.

Towing

At towing the towing rope length should not be less at least 3 lengths of the boat.

The steersman of the towed boat should be assisted by another crew member to monitor the processof towing. In this case, certain communication gestures should be agreed upon beforehand.

Approaching to rocky shores, shoals, moles, etc. , please be careful to avoid damages of your boat.It is strictly prohibited to drag the boat across rough surfaces (shingle, rocks, concrete, etc.).

In case of prolonged navigation with the use of an outboard motor, regularly check, that the motor isreliably attached to the boat. If the engine was attached carelessly, the attachment may loosen underthe action of vibration.

Besides, at regular intervals, please check air chambers pressure , since the pressure may vary underthe effects of outside air temperature and atmospheric pressure variations.

Never forget to monitor regularly the quantity of fuel in the fuel tank. Keep always in mind that thequantity of fuel should be sufficient for you to sail to your final destination.

Despite the strong shell of the boat we recommend carefully handle and operate with sharp andpricking objects which you have on board . It concerns, for example, a knife blade, fish-hook point, etc.

The rope have to be attached to both boats in a manner ensuring its immediately, single-motion release.

Danger of currents and wind

Attach towing rope in the bow of the boat to the one of the frontal towing rings. Attach bow mooring ropesto the bow mooring cleats only. Attach rear mooring ropes or the rope of back anchor to the rear mooringcleats only.

Before begin navigation on the boat, make detail inquiries about local conditions and regulations!Currents, wind, shoals, rising and falling tides, as well as weather variations may imply serious danger!

Mooring fast fastening

In emergency stay in boat

In any unexpected situation (engine failure, boat damage, etc.), never leave the boat, if it is still afloat. Even if you believe that the shoreis just nearby, stay in the boat, since you will be looked for in this particular place and, most probably, will be found. Should the boat becomepartially flooded, throw heavy objects (batteries, fuel tank, engine) overboard to ensure additional floatability.

Handling under power

Manoeuvrability above 40 knotes (74 km/h) is limited. Sudden turn may cause loss of control.Reduce speed before sharp turn, in either direction.

Damage to one of air chambers

The inflatable boat is designed to provide an adequate stability in case of the complete damage to one of the air chambers (ballooncompartments) at the expense of the remaining air chambers and the hull. Thanks to it, you will be able to reach safely the nearest shore.Reduce the speed and shift your body to the undamaged part of the boat. Observe changes in stability . After that, immediately head forthe nearest shore. To prevent penetration of water into the boat, pull the shell of the damaged air chambers upwards.
